Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Pei Jin is doomed this time." After receiving the news, Gu Qiyuan took out a golden seal and looked at it again and again, and said in a deep voice, "Master is really amazing. This method of playing the long game to catch a big fish really fooled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the others. It seems that the time for counterattack is coming soon."

"Father, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Gu Qingfeng looked at his father's smug smile blankly, unable to guess what he meant by his words.

"You don't have to know, just follow my instructions!" Gu Qiyuan put away the golden seal, and there was more calmness in his eyes.

"Could it be Prince Shun?" Gu Qingfeng asked in a low voice.

"He... he doesn't deserve it!" Gu Qiyuan said with disdain, "He played a good hand of cards like this and thought he won. Who would think highly of such a fool?"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, wondering who his father was planning for. He originally thought it was the Fourth Prince, but it turned out not to be the case. He felt a little uneasy.

Ever since he vaguely knew that his father was doing something that could cost him his life, he had tried to find out indirectly, but his father never revealed a single thing.

"What are you waiting for? The banquet is about to begin." Gu Qiyuan raised his hand and said, "Why don't you go to the palace with your mother and sisters!"

"Father, you're not going?" Gu Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

"I have been on sick leave these past few days." Gu Qiyuan smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten?"

"It's my son's fault. I know it." Gu Qingfeng bowed and said.

"Work hard, and the foundation I have built will be yours in the future." Gu Qiyuan snorted and frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, father." Gu Qingfeng lowered his hands and walked out of the room, then he secretly exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest.

Since he was a child, his father always taught him to be simple and not to do things too well in public so that others would not take them seriously.

He always obeyed his father's words, because he knew his father would never harm him. Therefore, although he looked down on Li Zan and his ilk, he always hung out with them, so that others would think that they were all the same, all good-for-nothings who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and were useless. This made him somewhat miserable.

After all, doing something you don't like is always too tiring. But he couldn't ignore what his father said, and in the past few years, he gradually became numb.

Now his father asked him to build good relations with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and to find ways to marry their eldest daughter. However, he didn't know if he could win this move.

The carriage stopped at the west corner gate. Gu Qingfeng lifted the carriage curtain and helped his mother get off the carriage, followed by his two sisters. Immediately, a maid from the palace came to greet them.

"Madam Changning." Madam Li Taifu called them over, and Li Wanqing beside her also squatted and saluted towards them.

"You go first, I'll come with them." Madam Hou nodded to Gu Qingfeng.

"The prince is the most filial. Madam, you are so blessed. My son has disappeared long ago." Madam Li said to Gu Qingfeng with a smile.

"Madam, you are so kind. My son Qingfeng is not like Mr. Li, you don't have to worry about anything. He got married and had children early, and his career is going smoothly." Madam Hou said, but she was very happy in her heart. Although my son is not very promising, he is gentle and filial since he was a child.

When her son was mentioned, Mrs. Li felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cellar. She thought her son had settled down after getting married and having children, and would no longer act like a fool like before, so she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Who knew that he had hooked up with a decent girl of fifteen or sixteen years old recently. This young lady was very capable despite her young age, and she had captured his son's heart.

She originally thought that her son was just looking for something new, and would stop doing it after a while when he got bored. But she didn't expect that things had gotten worse in the past two days. Her son actually bought a house for that woman and openly moved out to live with her, totally ignoring his wife.

Because of this matter, the daughter-in-law cried and made a fuss for a long time, saying that she could not afford to lose face and wanted to divorce her son. The angry master got furious and asked her to deal with the matter immediately.

Two days ago, she deliberately found an opportunity, brought a group of old women, and tied up the woman while her son was not at home, intending to sell her.

Who would have thought that this woman, though young, was actually very cunning and refused to give in no matter what, saying that she was pregnant with Li's child and knew many secrets of the Li family. If they dared to touch her, she would find a way to destroy their family.

This made her half-believe and half-doubtful. Looking at the woman's slightly bulging belly, she didn't dare to be ruthless. Besides, she knew that her son was a bastard and might have said something he shouldn't have said. So she had to change her face and take the woman to the backyard first, and then slowly deal with her.

Now, a hornet's nest was stirred in the mansion. On one hand, the daughter-in-law was making a fuss, kneeling in front of the master several times with her little grandson in her arms, asking for a divorce. On the other hand, the woman named Yin'er somehow persuaded the master to let his son take her as a concubine. Now she has become half the master of his son's yard in the backyard.

The daughter-in-law was so angry that she left her baby behind and went back to her parents' home. If this matter were to get out, I wonder how others would laugh at her.

She was also angry with the master because of this matter, blaming him for meddling in his son's backyard affairs. But Master Li just said, "What do women know?" He had his own arrangements for this matter.

Fine, fine, she doesn't care now. As long as no one dies, they can do whatever they want.

"Madam, it's time for the prince to marry and have children." Mrs. Li Taifu brushed away the unhappiness in her heart and said with a forced smile, "I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry into your Changning Marquis Mansion."

"Hey, ladies, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Minister Wang, who loved gossip the most, walked over from the palace road and approached them and whispered, "Do you know that I came early today and happened to see Prince Pei of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion fainting on the palace road."

"Ah? Fainted. Why did he faint? Is it because Madam Wang is seriously ill and he has been taking care of her day and night, so..." Mrs. Li Taifu asked in surprise, "Is nothing wrong?"

Zhang glanced at the young ladies who were staying with their mothers and said nothing more.

"You all should follow the maids and go first." They sent their daughters away.

"I don't know about that, but I know he was seriously ill this time." Seeing that there were only three of them left, Zhang shook her head and came closer to say mysteriously, "You will never guess that when he fainted and was waiting for the imperial physician to treat him, he was saved by someone."

"Madam Zhang, please don't keep us in suspense. Who is it? Such a great trick!" The wife of Marquis Changning exclaimed.

"Well, I only saw the figure of a woman. She was half-veiled and wearing a smoky-colored dress." Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice.

"This...whose lady is this? Could it be Miss Lu from the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion?" Mrs. Li Taifu asked in surprise.
